Here’s a strum-along instructional video for the great Don McLean 1970s classic, “American Pie.” The chords aren’t too difficult but they change quickly through most of the song. I’ve included all of the lyrics from the original recording (and that’s a lot of lyrics!).

I’ve finally gotten around to updating the Fingerpicking Ukulele Tutorial with 14 new videos that demonstrate a variety of fingerstyle patterns that can be used to play the uke. Eleven of the examples are for 4/4 time and the final three are for 3/4 time. You can find it here…

About ezFolk

Thanks for visiting! The goal of ezFolk is to help people learn to play folk music on a variety of instruments (ukulele, banjo, guitar, and harmonica). These are all arrangements that I've done over the years, and I'll be adding more in the future. Note that as I add new material it will only be added to this new section, which contains all of the content from the old site and new additions as they become available. The new section should provide a better experience for most users (better sorting, tablature printing, support for any screen size, etc.) and will make things much easier for me to deal with as well.

If you miss the old look of ezFolk, the old sections are still available and you can access them using the "ezFolk Classic" links on the menu at the top of the page. Keep in mind that the old pages were created more than ten years ago, the old-fashioned way -- one page at a time (and there are a couple thousand of them). There are some dead links and other things that will never be fixed or changed, but mostly everything still works the same. Note that anytime you click the ezFolk logo in the old section it will bring you back to the home page of the new section.
